Nothing at all that says it all

Sometimes in life, silence arises. For whatever reason, sometimes silence can be golden. Especially in a loving and deep relationship, silence can speak volumes. It's a given fact that couples learn one another's body language and through that body language, love is often displayed. There is an ultimate body language song in Keith Whitley and Allison Kraus's "When You Say Nothing at All" Here is the lyrics:


"When You Say Nothing At All"

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

A smile, someone holding you near, truthful eyes and a tender touch are all ways in which we speak volumes, not through our lips, but through our heart. I have learned in my own life that I must cherish the golden moments of silence and learn to know that we really do say things best when we say nothing at all.

Tonight, the measure of a man or woman can sometimes be found in his or her ability to cherish the golden moments of silence and learn how much meaning is in them. Again, sometimes things are said best when we say nothing at all.

That my friends is just a few thoughts from a small town southern man.
